Mr. Editor : The coarse of lectures re
cently delivered by Dr. Morron on the
science of the stars, Las been one of
surpassing interest, and it is but sclddui
that the good people of our place are fa -
vored with such a rich intellectual treat
or one which they seemed to relish as well.
Although entirely removed from the sphere
of the practical, yet the great truths, and
speculations of Astronomical science, when
once clearly presented never fail to awa
ken attention by their grandeur and nov
elty. Under their influence, the mind in
the intensity and rapidity of its conccp-
j tions breaking away from its moorings to
earth, sweeps out in the ocean universe of

of clear and condensed mathematical

TfcRRiBLfc Collision at Sea. Twen
ty four Lives ! The steamer South
erner, Captain Berry, from Charleston,
arrived at NTew York, on Friday afternoon,
i reports that at 2 o'clock on the morning of
t,e same day, in lat. 38 39, in 22 fathoms
0f wnlert he descried the bark Isaac
! MeaJf w,icn eft New York for Savan-
nah, on Thursday, on her larboard bow,
very near. She immediately stopped and
backed the engine, but too late to prevent
a collision. The forward part of the bark
was struck, splitting the bows entirely
open, and in less than five minute she
went down with fifteen passengcrs'and nine
of the crew. The Southerner lay by the
spot, with three of Frances' life bonts, and
were enabled to save two passengers and
seven of the crew.
'The fsauc Mead had a ery valuable
frei"rrt for Savannahirnnd the interior.
The damage tn the Southerner was incon
siderable notwithstanding the violence of
the concussion.
The captain'of the Southerner soys he
had three lights. A white light cn the
nia-.t-hcod, a red light on the starboard
paddle bos, and a blue light on the larboard
which can be seen ten miles. The bark
saw the Steamer first and put helm to
starhoiird to cross the Southerner suppos
